Chapter 67 - 67: Regretting
Jiang Yun sat brooding in the car. Having not seen Ye Yao for six years, it was unexpected that the girl had now become Huo Buyu’s girlfriend.
Ye Yao held Huo Buyu’s hand as they walked into the mall. She smiled at Huo Buyu. “Why did you refuse to go home with Jiang Yun just now?
Huo Buyu pinched Ye Yao’s face till it was contorted. “Do you think my EQ is so low? You think I can’t tell that you don’t like me interacting with Jiang Yun?
Since you don’t like it, I’ll just stay away from her in the future.”
Ye Yao’s eyes lit up. “Wow, 1 didn’t think you’d be so good. I thought I’d have to have a few more arguments with you and play a few more tricks before you’d stay away from her. I didn’t expect you to be enlightened so soon.”
Huo Buyu tapped Ye Yao’s head angrily. “There’s no need to play so many tricks or throw tantrums with me. You only need to speak your mind. I’m your boyfriend, you only need to tell me what you want me to do.” He had never interacted much with girls before, so he couldn’t even begin to guess at what they were thinking. Sometimes, he felt that Ye Yao’s actions were senseless. Just like how she kept finding fault with Jiang Yun today. She claimed that she was jealous, but in a way, it didn’t seem like it. In any case, he had no idea how a girl would behave if she was jealous. Perhaps exactly like Ye Yao.
Ye Yao smiled and wrapped her arms around Huo Buyu’s neck. “That’s right. It saves me time. You have to keep a distance from the other girls, understand?”
Huo Buyu stroked her hair. “Got it. Let’s go. Since we’re already here, let’s buy something.
“Sure.” Ye Yao headed upstairs straight away with Huo Buyu in tow. Coincidentally, she had been thinking of getting a new bag! Shopping always makes people happy!
Of course, the price she had to pay for spending Huo Buyu’s money was to be tormented by Huo Buyu that night. The next morning, Ye Yao had to massage her legs all along the way returning to the military training grounds. Fortunately, the military training was about to end. Whenever Gao Qiao had time, he would come over to buy water for Ye Yao or bring her gifts such as a tiny electric fan. This made Ye Yao very popular in school. Everyone wanted to be friends with Ye Yao. After all, she had a high-profile backer like Gao Qiao. Of course, in the eyes of others, Gao Qiao’s enthusiasm was because he was madly pursuing Ye Yao. Zhou Chen, who was among the crowd, also saw it clearly. Back then, he had been frightened by a ghost and ended up staying in the hospital for a few days. When he found out that Ye Yao had also come to the Imperial Capital University to study, he, who actually didn’t need military training, was compelled to join in anyway. Then, he witnessed how Gao Qiao was solicitous towards Ye Yao.
Zhou Chen felt a little upset. In the past, when Ye Yao was with him, she would take the initiative to keep a distance from other boys. She would not even look at the gifts that she received from others and only had eyes for him. But now, she accepted everything Gao Qiao gave her and even smiled at Gao Qiao. In the past, when Ye Yao was with him, he took her for granted and didn’t cherish her. However, now that he was separated from Ye Yao and she had a better man watching over her, Zhou Chen began to regret it. Only then did he realize how good Ye Yao was in the past, especially compared with Ye Sui. He felt that he had been seduced by Ye Sui back then, and must have been possessed to have taken a fancy to that superficial woman. As if it was not bad enough that Ye Sui had been expelled, she created a scene and told the entire world that the vice-principal of the university gave her a place for money. Would the vice-principal of the Imperial Capital University have been an ordinary person? In the past few days, Zhou Chen’s father had repeatedly encountered obstacles in his business dealings. It was Ye Sui who had caused this trouble.
Moreover, Zhou Chen had also received a photograph of Ye Sui covered in feces, sent to him by Ye Yao. He was lying on the hospital bed at the time and immediately vomited. The psychological impact was such that now whenever he saw her, the image of her covered in feces would come to mind. Then, it would make him feel like throwing up. Not only that, but his mother had also now developed a grudge against Ye Sui. Furthermore, Ye Sui had fallen out with the Imperial Capital University and could only go to the art university next door. It was only a few hundred meters away from the Imperial Capital University. This made Zhou Chen very unhappy. Ye Sui had already made herself infamous and should really stay away from the general location.
However, she had little self awareness, and would come round looking for Zhou Chen on campus every now and then when she had time. Now, everyone in the school knew that Ye Sui had relied on her connections to enter the Imperial Capital University and even got the vice-principal involved. Hence coming round to look for Zhou Chen all the time was nothing more than causing the young man more trouble.
Most importantly, going to the art school in the imperial capital cost a lot of money. The Zhou family and the Ye family had moved to the imperial capital to do business. Now that they weren’t able to do business, their expenses were extremely high. Ye Sui not only did nothing to help reduce the burden, she even selfishly chose such an expensive school for herself. Now, whenever Zhou Chen looked at her, he only felt a headache coming on..
